Safety Recall

Stellantis UK Safety Recall

Stellantis has issued a UK safety recall affecting approximately 72,000 vehicles across several brands, including Peugeot, Citroën, Vauxhall, DS Automobiles, Fiat, Jeep and Alfa Romeo.

The recall relates to certain petrol-engine vehicles where components within the high-pressure fuel pipe system may loosen over time. In rare cases, this could lead to a fuel leak within the engine bay, increasing the risk of fire.

Stellantis has identified that, on some vehicles, fixings within the high-pressure fuel pipe assembly may loosen over time. The fuel pipe connects the high-pressure fuel pump to the fuel rail and operates under significant pressure during normal engine operation.

If the fixings are not secured correctly, this could allow a small fuel leak to develop within the engine bay. In rare cases, escaping fuel could increase the risk of an engine compartment fire.
